Which of the following statements are true about whether atoms tend to gain or lose electrons?

Dafna11 [192]

Answer:

C and D

Explanation:

Atoms with five, six or seven valance electrons gain electrons to complete the octet because it is more convenient for the atoms to gain three, two or one electron as compared to lose five, six or seven electrons. Thus atoms with five, six or seven valance electrons form negative ions by gaining electrons.

Atoms with one, two or three valance electrons lose the electrons to get complete octet because it is more convenient for the atoms to lose one two or three electrons as compared to gain the seven, six or five electrons. The atoms with one, two or three valance electrons form positive ions.

A 151.5-g sample of a metal at 75.0°C is added to 151.5 g at 15.1°C. The temperature of the water rises to 18.7°C. Calculate the

Kryger [21]

Answer:

The specific heat capacity of the metal is 0.268 J/g°C

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of the metal = 151.5 grams

The temperature of the metal = 75.0 °C

Temperature of water = 15.1 °C

The temperature of the water rises to 18.7°C.

The specific heat capacity of water is 4.18 J/°C*g

Step 2: Calculate the specific heat capacity of the metal

heat lost = heat gained

Q = m*c*ΔT

Qmetal = - Qwater

m(metal) * c(metal) * ΔT(metal) = m(water) * c(water) * ΔT(water)

⇒ mass of the metal = 151.5 grams

⇒ c(metal) = TO BE DETERMINED

⇒ΔT( metal) = T2 - T1 = 18.7 °C - 75.0 °C = -56.3 °C

⇒ mass of the water = 151.5 grams

⇒ c(water) = 4.184 J/g°C

⇒ ΔT(water) = 18.7° - 15.1 = 3.6 °C

151.5g * c(metal) * -56.3°C = 151.5g * 4.184 J/g°C * 3.6 °C

c(metal) = 0.268 J/g°C

The specific heat capacity of the metal is 0.268 J/g°C

2. Consider the reaction 2 Cg H18 (4) +250â (9) âº 16 co, (g) + 18 HâO(g) la How many moles of H20co) are produced, when |--16:1

Sladkaya [172]

Answer :

(a) The moles of water produced are 145.35 moles.

(b) The mass of oxygen needed are 3080.8 grams.

Solution for part (a) : Given,

Moles of $C_8H_{18}$ = 16.15 moles

First we have to calculate the moles of $H_2O$

The balanced chemical reaction is,

$2C_8H_{18}+25O_2\rightarrow 16CO_2+18H_2O$

From the balanced reaction we conclude that

As, 2 moles of $C_8H_{18}$ react to give 18 moles of $H_2O$

So, 16.15 moles of $C_8H_{18}$ react to give $\frac{16.15}{2}\times 18=145.35$ moles of $H_2O$

The moles of water produced are 145.35 moles.

Solution for part (b) : Given,

Mass of $C_8H_{18}$ = 878 g

Molar mass of $C_8H_{18}$ = 114 g/mole

Molar mass of $O_2$ = 32 g/mole

First we have to calculate the moles of $C_8H_{18}$ .

$\text{ Moles of }C_8H_{18}=\frac{\text{ Mass of }C_8H_{18}}{\text{ Molar mass of }C_8H_{18}}=\frac{878g}{114g/mole}=7.702moles$

Now we have to calculate the moles of $O_2$

The balanced chemical reaction is,

$2C_8H_{18}+25O_2\rightarrow 16CO_2+18H_2O$

From the balanced reaction we conclude that

As, 2 moles of $C_8H_{18}$ react with 25 moles of $O_2$

So, 7.702 moles of $C_8H_{18}$ react with $\frac{7.702}{2}\times 25=96.275$ moles of $O_2$

Now we have to calculate the mass of $O_2$ .

$\text{ Mass of }O_2=\text{ Moles of }O_2\times \text{ Molar mass of }O_2$

$\text{ Mass of }O_2=(96.275moles)\times (32g/mole)=3080.8g$

The mass of oxygen needed are 3080.8 grams.

Is ok2 gas a element compound or homogeneous or heterogeneous mixture?

ivolga24 [154]

I'm guessing you mean O2 gas? This is an elemental compound. It can't be a mixture because it is composed of only 1 element. Hope I helped!
